Reviews for "Hamster Ball"
Its okay
But it needs more work. A little more effort and you might get frontpage.
Very good!!
The music was fitting and the hamsters voice was funny. Very entertaining and challenging, good job :D
Boring. Poor Controls. However Somewhat Cute.
I gave this a 3 because I hadn't played it through and it looked pretty enough. I suggest giving it a 2 though, people!
The controls make this seem like the hamster is rolling a 10 ton ball, so it's hard to stop or even reverse direction. Not only that, but the instruction boxes stay on much too long and even if you've already seen them 100 times over. Let us control that part! Tell us to push space to continue or something!
If this is supposed to be a 2d scroller implementation of HamsterBall (the awesome 3d marble madness clone), you did a pissy job of it. Try again, for the love of hamsters!

Frustrating
I found this to be quite a frustrating game, that really punishes the player for not being able to see beyond the short distance shown on-screen. Unknowns in themself are not a bad thing in a game, but at least early on in the game I feel you need to give the player a break or two - say, overjumping results in you pushed back to where you started, rather than insta-death every single time. The learning curve of this game is vicious to say the least. Perhaps some form of vague mini-map, or at least a better view of the upcoming course at the beginning of each level would help this.
Graphically the game is very cute, and suits the game very well, and the sound fits well too.
It's definitely got potential, but it's been spoiled by... well, to be honest, a feeling that the game hates the player.
